beauty of the day impaired spirit Of graft
tude to God and with reyerent tread our
people wendell their way to the several
churches to participate in the songs thanks
givings and other exercises that commemo-
rated the resurrection of Christ. At St
James Church, the morning service was at
tended by a large congregation Of devout
worshipers The cold, tardy spring had

/ Of nature caused less elaborate display of
decorations OF the church. which has here
/ tofore characterized these annual occasions,
yet the floral adornments were such as to

Son of God 1t was compact with scriptur-
ial truth convincing in argument and ele-
CANT in diction The music on the occa-
